Once more associated the past T20I, the pitch at the Brabourne Arena on Saturday will end up being a batting heaven for the elite players from both the sides, subsequently encouraging to be a run-fest.
Bowlers won’t get much out of it. One thing has changed. During the pitch-related Toss on Thursday, Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur commented, “Rajeswari comes in in place of Meghna.” He had decided to play a spinner instead.
The Red Soil pitch will have good carry and bounce, allowing the batters to play their strokes without worrying about how the pitch will behave.
